Fresh air comes from the window. Diana never closes her apartment window. When the morning comes, she'll wake up right away. She doesn't need an alarm on the phone. She'll open the fridge to make breakfast. Make a coffee and go to the bathroom to clean her body.
It's 7 a.m. and she sitting in the living room, turn on the television to see the newest information. Usually, she wakes up an hour early than today, because of drinking with Mia last night she didn't wake up properly.
This is the weekend and Diana just writing on her website. Leave the television turn on and just looking for brand new information. Just like usual and nothing is exciting happened this week. "Successful young writer" that title coming up from the screen.
She didn't have a huge interest in him at first. Suddenly her phone ringing and Mia called her.
"Diana, you know about this writer? He's viral on the media recently, his new action movie became one of the popular movies right now."
"I know, I know. So what happened?" Her eyes were still glued to the television.
"Our boss, wants you to interview him next week. I'll give you his editor number."
"Editor?" she's confused.
"Oh yeah, we can't have his number or anything, he didn't have a manager either. So this the only way, you should call his editor about this problem. Bye, see you on Monday."
Mia hung up before Diana wants to say anything about it. She just still didn't sure about him, "nothing interesting from this person". Diana back to her activity, writing her perspective and her thought about what happened in the world.
"Diana, you always busy like usual." Some familiar voice called her from the door.
It was his sister, she's a college girl and usually came to Diana's apartment to talk or just hang out with her, such a happy family.
"Jeez, Alice! You almost give me a heart attack! I told you to knock before come in."
Alice smiling and hug her, "I do but you didn't hear it. So are you writing for your website again?"
"What do you think that I'm doing right now," she grumbled. "You came here alone?"
"Yes, I want to go with mum but she still has a business."
Alice keeps talking while Diana still writing on her website. When the day's getting darker, Diana stopped her activity for a while. Cook something for her sister and chill while watching their favorite movies.
"So Diana, how's your relationship going with Lucas?"
Diana choked, "What do you mean? There's nothing such a relationship with him."
"Huh, are you serious?" Alice doubted her, "He's a nice guy right? He always kind to me and sometimes treat me for a meal. He keeps talking about you though."
"That's none of your business!"
"Hmm, you should get a boyfriend. You almost 28 you know, mom wants you to find someone too."
Diana thinks about it for a minute, "So what, I don't want a boyfriend. Not yet. You still a college girl so don't try to lecture me."
They continued the night by watching movies. Diana keeps thinking about what her sister said. "It's a matter to have someone at this age? I didn't feel to date someone right now, should I do it for them? I don't want my mum to be worried about me." She keeps thinking about it even when she sleeps. "It's some kind of obligation to love someone?"

Days go on like usual and Diana did her activity. Go to the office, have some meetings, and some other jobs that she should've done. Today she will meet this famous writer. She still can't believe that she must call his editor first.
"Good afternoon, my name is Diana Christie. I want to have an appointment with Mr. James Nathaniel."
"Oh, so you're the one who wants to interview him. My name's Edward, his editor." Ed's voices come from the phone. "Maybe you confused, why you should call me first and not directly to James right?"
"Haha, you've read my mind."
Ed sigh, "This not the first time, he has some issue right now. Even me, I can't call him directly too. He a little bit anti-social? Maybe that's the word to describe him. Deep down inside he doesn't like a crowd."
"Ah, so that's the reason. So when I can meet him?"
"I've called him recently but he didn't answer it. Here I give you his address you can meet him at his place and just tell him that I sent you. Sorry for this trouble."
Diana thanked, "That's fine. You look care so much about him."
"Hahaha, is that so? Yeah maybe this is what I can do for him," His voice tone changes and it feels different from before.
Diana closes the phone and ready to meet this person. She packed her equipment and ready to go. She goes alone because everyone's busy with their jobs. She walking to the bus stop and go to James's place.
She curious how's he likes, he is known as a genius young people. Deep down inside she's can't imagine how James looks like. She arrived at his place for almost 30 minutes on a bus.
She knocked on the door but there's no one came. Diana thinks maybe she's got the wrong number apartment. She knocked again but still, there's no answer from him. She stands for a while waiting for a response. While days getting darker and she didn't know what to do.
Before she wants to leave and call her friend, the apartment door opened. She's really surprised that he's not like what in her head. Just like normal young people. There's no genius in his face. She's a little bit disappointed, he makes her waiting as well.
She introduced herself and James brought her to a café nearby. Very different from her expectation, with a hoodie and a sweatpants she still didn't believe what she just saw. In the first place, she wanted to know what makes him so special and viral in the media. She wanted to know, what's the special about this kid.
